“…The knowledge of geoscientific issues related to these forms of geoheritage is at a high level taking into consideration that they were the subject of research of eminent experts in geomorphology and hydrology of karst from the most imperative research and academic associations in the country [72,73]. The level of interpretation of tufa deposits as sites of geoheritage could be more simple and interesting bearing in mind that they are very interesting, rare, and unique phenomena of karst morphology and hydrography.…”

The study focuses on the present state and the assessments of geotourism development of the two most representative tufa deposits in the Djerdap National Park—the first UNESCO Global Geopark in Serbia. The findings were designated through implementing the freshly upgraded methodology—M-GAM-1-2 based on an early modified geosites assessment model (M-GAM). To overcome the limitations of the previous model, the authors implemented additional enhancements and involved members of the local community (residents and authorities) in the study to comprehensively evaluate the observed sites. The outcomes revealed that the attitudes of all stakeholders should be taken into consideration in order to develop geotourism properly, additionally attract visitors, and preserve tufa deposits for future generations of locals and visitors. Moreover, geotourism at the observed sites can be one of the vital activities of the population, as well as a type of compensation for various limitations in the development, which are imposed by the regimes of natural and cultural heritage protection within the recently established UNESCO Global Geopark.
